well with the foc figures and these guys that makes 12 of the promised 40 figs for generations
cant wait to see the other 28

How do you figure? These are Japanese toys for the United toyline, not Generations. And, we already got these toy molds in the Energon, Cybertron, and Beast Wars 10th Anniversary toylines.

You don't actually want to swap it, do you? That's crazy talk!

Personally these four don't really do anything for me. Easy passes.

Cyber Keys make me sick...

Insert key into ass...unleash projectile.

I don't collect Beast Era stuff personally, but would hav gladly made an exception for these if they hadn't been at the Voyager price point.

Did we ever find out why?

The deluxe price point has changed, the figures have become smaller. 3 of these figures (excluding Axalon) are just a lot more plastic than the average deluxe figure now. Axalon is priced like regular deluxes because he's not as large as the others.

Takara is charging too much for these, but they also don't have a price point between deluxe and voyager at this time. Same goes for the Scout class two packs which they're charging too much for.

Nice galleries... but pass on all of them since I already own the original molds.

It was the Axalon, still being carded that confused me the most! I'd forgotten about the scout 2pks, not that it stopped my dropping the cash on Rumble and Frenzy!

What does a Takara deluxe retail at in Japan then?

I don't think a Deluxe's head on a Voyager's body would look all that good.

These prices all come from e-Hobby:

United Deluxes retail for 2,125 Yen or 2,587 Yen and "Voyagers" for 3,326 Yen. Meanwhile, Arms Micron Deluxes are 1,848 Yen and Arms Micron Voyagers are 3,696 Yen.

As you can see, TakaraTomy has a pretty liberal pricing system between lines.
